Every day there are news reports of new health advice, but how can you know if they’re right? Doctor and epidemiologist Ben Goldacre shows us, at high speed, the ways evidence can be distorted, from the blindingly obvious nutrition claims to the very subtle tricks of the pharmaceutical industry.

Back when TED was still TED…
I thought this was gonna be about science not garbage papers. If anything this guy is just part of the problem with bad academic science.

Hey my grandmother made her own olive oil, was a farmer, was out all day and at 87 had no wrinkles. Her luxury facial cream was olive oil and lemon juice.
Does he have ANY evidence for climate change ? I have yet to be persuaded – no evidence !!!!
This man talks as fast as Ben Shapiro
Dude looks like he forgot to go pee before the meeting
This is one of the best talks ever given in medicine
this guy would def be an atheist
I had to watch this for a school assignment, he is talking way to fast. It took me 35 minutes to actually gather all the information I needed. Slow down my friend.
And his mum always sang so slowly.
Ben is the man!!!!!
When i lose concentration it sounds like this guy is saying:
aakgfjdhagashdgkashdhkadhsadsd
But in a British accent.
Wow, Ben. You're very smart, but still need to quit amphetamines.
"but, and its a big but" (everyone laughs)
That time I ate 4g of BASE and was awake for 3 days, "has really let himself go".
slide of al gore in the Tedx talk opening montage of alumini on bad science. that cracks me up, classic
Im so disappointed that such a bright mind 'slipped sideways' into epidemiology: one of the sciences that has most often lauded crappy confounded observational studies.
Hey, Ben…take it easy with the crack, okay?
So glad this hit 500K views
Does ben Shapiro know about this guy
The truth about vaccines https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N5ePF6XPR5LmLGTjiBMpD5JfFJAm6JYJ68OyV5GJySw/edit
You can have milk, and you can have sugar,

Greece 74 to 84 the people were healthy, in general. after the Greeks went toward western diets rate of heart diseases with many other sicknesses increased dramatically as was shown in figures and observed by leading Greek heart surgeons.. 3 blue areas in Greece have more older people staying healthy far longer than in other regions. Peter l. Dollins.
Why is he dancing?
Excellent talk. Thank you.
seems the guy really wants to go to pee.
Question: Considering all Ben said above (which I agree to), what about studies about things like second-hand smoke as being 'proven' hazardous causes of premature death? I ask not in doubt that harm CAN occur in excess environments but that when it is used by governments to create laws, how CAN one actually experiment realistically to determine such kinds of conclusions? How can you rule out other causes? Relating also to this is how statistics show a decrease in smoking upon laws that both educate and restrict ads and overt access, etc. In line with what Ben said above about the KINDS of people involved, if the success of effectiveness of these tactics suffice to help say, a middle to upper class portion of the environment, how can a statistic be appropriate about ALL people, like those in poverty.
An example of something I know as a smoker to which political excuse is backed by science is regarding the hiding of the presence of tobacco products in stores (here in Saskatchewan, Canada, at least). As far as I am aware, no one would rationally opt to go to the store one day out of the blue to buy cigarettes of any particular brand name to initiate their addiction. Rather, people would only opt to begin smoking by peer or local environmental groups of people (like family) and ONLY try smoking first THROUGH others without even requiring to pay for it. The brand one seems to have only relates to what they began with in these initial trials and not due directly to an appealing looking package on display by some company. Nor is the higher prices matter as a deterrent until one is already an addict. (Thus, the excuse to charge higher prices as a deterrent only affect the post addicted, not the initiated.)
lol i watched this at 1.5 speed and I was fine. Great speaker
Great video for my TOK class except for the reference to S&M:-(
Good lord… such good information , delivered by someone speaking like a 14 year old teen girl… shame.
just set it to .75 speed, he talks super fast
Modern medicine has always been questionable as well as media information. This guy is spot on when he first talks about modern science. The hypocrisy inaccuracy is extremely relevant especially with the growth of technology. Unfortunately modern medicine will also be included with the non sense we are told to believe is true.
